A Sensual Awakening: Two Word Reviews

Everything gets reviewed these days, from mobile phones to toilet cleaners, so it seems only fair that The Papples latest body of work should be included.

Sarah and I sat down this fine evening to give ‘A Sensual Awakening’ a good going over, and decided that rather than use lots of words to accurately convey how we felt about each song, we’d do a two word review.

From Us.

Getting Better

As you can see, over all we think a fair and all encompassing review would be: Semi Excellent

I was very fond of the line “running out of leg jazz”, as I knew it would be over soon, and Chris would stop shouting at me. Unfortunately Run With It was the next track and he started all over again! (Incidentally, I loved the run with it verses, just not the chorus.)

I like shouting at you. That’s why I do it. Run With It may have been the last song we wrote and may have had more space for verses if we’d been inclined to write them and not stick some more choruses in. I wonder if we should have at least doubled up the end with the lines from the first verse again, running under the chorus lyrics. But anyway, we’ve no time for regrets here. My twelve words go like this.

Swamp Hospital is THE most delightfully nonsensical combination of Papples lyrics and music.
